HOLY SHIT THIS IS IT FLBLFBFLBLLB
This might be neat, or it might not be. I am going to reserve judgment about it until I play it and, whatever I do, I am [i]not[/i] going to post an assload of angry words on the internet about it.
I wonder what the big robot is.
How fitting, I just had a terminator movie marathon yesterday.
This looks interesting. A revitialization of the tf2 campaign idea sorta.
I always had the same idea, except with strogg-like Cyborgs instead of Robots. This will suffice.
Sweet. Finally something that could get me back into TF2!
Three words: Holy Fucking Shit. I guess this is going to be the end of the TF2 Storyline updates.
Hmm. I'll be interested in seeing how it works out with only six people. Opening it up to a full nine classes would be better I'd imagine. Have to see how it plays out in game though before saying for certain. I'm also wondering if its a typical horde mode style or something more akin to a tower defense game, because I'm honestly not a massive fan of tower defense stuff.
Hey, I remember seeing the robot heads in the workshop and hoping they'd take off. That's actually pretty awesome, making something so huge out of community content. Hopefully this'll be a well-thought-out addition.
aaaaa this is gonna be boss

A whole 9 people would probably just dominate the robots. Rather unrelated, but now I want a gamemode where it's 18 players, 9v9, only one person per class per team.

Welp, reinstalling TF2 for when this comes out.

Do you think sappers would work on them?
Slightly offtopic, but does anyone else really wanna see a TF2 movie of some sort? Seeing all these trailers makes me want one. Also, no pyro, my favorite class :(
[QUOTE=Mrglitch2000;37222311]Do you think sappers would work on them?[/QUOTE] Maybe on the special and bigger ones to slow em down
according to the comic, the robots are powered by money, you destroy them, money comes out.
mite b cool
Oh my god yes

I find it funny that the people in the TF2 section thought this was an arg because of a few models already in the game.
holy shit i've gotta get this it looks so good
I just sent this to my friend and this is how our conversation went. "Hey, go watch the video I just posted on Facebook." "Still don't like it." "What? Why?" "They made it like Monday Night Combat. I don't like Monday Night Combat. I just think its a bad idea all together." "Its not even out yet. This is the first they've shown of it." "I don't need to see anymore of it." I hate my friend sometimes. He has been whiny and bitchy the last three days.
this is the first thing since I uninstalled about 2 years ago that might convince me to reinstall it. Looks like a lot of fun.
